SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah's Republican governor on Friday signed a collective bargaining ban that experts are calling one of the most restrictive labor laws in the country, despite overwhelming opposition from union members.

Beginning July 1, unions serving Utah teachers, firefighters, police officers, transit workers and other public employees will be banned from negotiating on their behalf for better wages and working conditions.

Gov. Spencer Cox announced his decision Friday evening following a week of rallies outside his office in which thousands of union members from the public and private sector urged him to veto the bill. The Republican-controlled Legislature had narrowly approved it last week after its sponsors abandoned a proposed compromise that would have removed the outright ban.


Government workers don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money.

When government unions strike, they strike against taxpayers.

F.D.R. considered this “unthinkable and intolerable.” .... At least one thing I agreed with him on.

Go Utes. and byu beat Kansas by 34 last night

Yep.
And how do the people in government - city councils, school boards, mayors, county commissioners - get their jobs?

In my Country they apply for a job, after my Uncle came out of the Royal Navy when he came home after WW2 he worked at the Town Hall most of his working life, what's your point?

In my Country they apply for a job

In the US, they are elected.
In the US, unions have significant sway in elections; the more local the election, the more sway they have.
In the US, teacher's (etc) unions can strong-arm elected officials into giving them the contracts they want by threatening to elect someone else.
The conflict of interest of here should be obvious.

Thats an interesting view of police, ambulance drivers, paramedics, fire, bus drivers, city works maintenance etc.

But an accurate one.
